Our guide to summer footwear this season

By: Wilber Gjokaj

Summer footwear for 2010 reflects the key summer trend this year, the nautical theme. You will find navy, white and red aplenty, with nautical stripes everywhere as well as seaworthy symbols like anchors, rope detailing and shiny brass embellishments.

The deck shoe and the tennis shoe are making a comeback on the high street. Both tie in nicely with the retro travel trend, which looks back to English ladies and gents taking the grand tour during the 1920s and 30s. The deck shoe also incorporates the nautical theme and you will find a range of colours and finishes available. We recommend woven leather for a fresh take on an old favourite.

Add some height with a pair of wedges this summer. Always a summertime favourite, wedges really are back for 2010 and are higher than ever. Opt for a peep toe to keep the look fresh, and look out for natural finishes that tie in with the nautical and retro travel trends, such as rope finish heels, striped canvas and summery cork.

Sandals are strappier than ever this season, thanks to the success of the gladiator sandal last summer. From flats to killer heels, the gladiator look for 2010 is far bolder than last year with excessive detailing and over the top strapping and buckle detailing.

For casual footwear this summer, look out for brogues. Once a staple of every male wardrobe, fashion savvy women are now bagging this style for themselves. Classic tan and black will always look good, but for a summery feel look out for fresh pastel shades.

If you are fed up with pumps and sandals, look out for espadrilles. These are all over the high street right now and are a great comfortable alternative for the summer. The colour and print finishes are almost endless, from nautical stripes to summery pastels, polka dots to vibrant neons.

Heels for summer 2010 reach towering new heights thanks to the return of the platform. Platforms may have been huge, literally, in the 70s and had something of a revival in the 90s thanks to those Spice Girls, but for 2010 they are far more refined. Think slimmer platform soles teamed with killer stiletto spikes.

The shoe boot is still around for the summer. Slouchy styles are still in, but if you want to update the shoe boot look for summer, try a strappy shoe boot or woven leather style. Look out for high heeled brogue shoe boots too, a quirky alternative for office day wear.
